Plane Crash

To pilots, especially ones in mortal danger, air traffic controllers are voices at the end of a lifeline, saviors of the skies. On the ground, they are average people, exposed to the threat of emotional trauma and juggling high-risk problems in one of the most stressful jobs in America.

The preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board says the pilot was destined for Clearwater Air Park but couldn't see the airport during the nighttime flight. He crashed into a home about four miles away.

Federal authorities have launched an investigation to determine why a private jet tried to make an emergency landing on I-75 in Collier County, colliding with a vehicle and sparking a fiery crash that killed the pilot and co-pilot.

The plane crashed into a car while making an emergency landing just north of Alligator Alley. Southbound motorists on I-75 should seek alternate routes.
